Oct 14 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index opened

higher on Tuesday, signaling a recovery after Friday's sharp

decline due to renewed U.S.-China tensions that triggered

profit-taking across the market.

At 9:31 a.m. ET (1331 GMT), Toronto's S&P/TSX composite

index was up 0.5% at 30010.39 points, as investors

returned to trading following Canada's Thanksgiving holiday on

Monday.
